Parish Pilgrimage & Retreat - Mirfield, 25-27 September 2026 - Join us for a parish pilgrimage and retreat to the Community of the Resurrection, Mirfield, from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th September. This Anglican religious community in West Yorkshire offers a peaceful setting for worship, prayer, reflection and fellowship. The weekend will include worship with the community, time to explore the area, and opportunities to support their charitable work. Revd Elaine Dando (evd.macrina@btinternet.com) is coordinating the trip. Travel: Train tickets are now available via Grand Central Railway. Those travelling are planning to take the 11.17am London Kings Cross-Mirfield on Friday 25th September and return on the 4.13pm Mirfield-London Kings Cross service. Please book as soon as possible, as fares increase closer to the date. Senior Railcards and group tickets may offer additional savings. Accommodation options will follow shortly but the trip will not be expensive.
